listmonk is a standalone, self-hosted, newsletter and mailing list manager. It is fast, feature-rich, and packed into a single binary. It uses a PostgreSQL database as its data store.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
The latest image is available on DockerHub at `listmonk/listmonk:latest`. Use the sample [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/blob/master/docker-compose.yml) to run listmonk and Postgres DB with docker-compose as follows:
|
|
|
|
#### Demo
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir listmonk-demo
|
|
sh -c "$(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/knadh/listmonk/master/install-demo.sh)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The demo does not persist Postgres after the containers are removed. DO NOT use this demo setup in production.
|
|
|
|
#### Production
|
|
- `docker-compose up db` to run the Postgres DB.
|
|
- `docker-compose run --rm app ./listmonk --install` to setup the DB (or `--upgrade` to upgrade an existing DB)
|
|
- Run `docker-compose up app` and visit `http://localhost:9000`.
|

### Binary
|
|
|
|
#### prerequisites Debian: system user and PostgreSQL
|
|
- install `sudo`
|
|
- install PostgreSQL `apt install postgresql`
|
|
- --create system user with config.toml data for the database:
|
|
`adduser listmonkuser`--
|
|
- create the postgreSQL database, the user and grant permissions:
|
|
`su - postgres` and then acces de PostgreSQL console `psql`
|
|
```
|
|
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE listmonkdatabase;
|
|
postgres=# CREATE USER listmonkuser WITH PASSWORD 'listmonkpassword';
|
|
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE listmonkdatabase TO listmonkuser;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### download an prepare config file
|
|
- `cd /var/www/` and make the directory `mkdir listmonk`
|
|
- `cd listmonk`
|
|
- Download the [latest release](https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/releases) and extract the listmonk binary.
|
|
```
|
|
wget https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/releases/download/v1.0.0/listmonk_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
|
|
wget https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/releases/download/v1.0.0/listmonk_1.0.0_checksums.txt
|
|
sha256sum listmonk_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
|
|
cat listmonk_1.0.0_checksums.txt |grep linux
|
|
```
|
|
- change ownership of files `chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/listmonk`
|
|
- generate config file `sudo -u www-data ./listmonk --new-config`
|
|
- edit the config file with the data we created previously and more options `vim /var/www/listmonk/confif.toml`
|
|
|
|
#### reverse proxy
|
|
- create the apache config to work behind a reverse proxy `/etc/apache2/sites-available/listmonk.doamain.tdl.conf`
|
|
```
|
|
<VirtualHost *:80>
|
|
ServerName listmonk.domain.tdl
|
|
|
|
ServerSignature Off
|
|
|
|
|
|
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/listmonk.domain.tdl_error.log
|
|
TransferLog /var/log/apache2/listmonk.domain.tdl_access.log
|
|
LogLevel warn
|
|
|
|
ProxyPreserveHost On
|
|
ProxyPass "/" "http://127.0.0.1:9000/"
|
|
ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://127.0.0.1:9000/"
|
|
</VirtualHost>
|
|
```
|
|
- enable the proxy module `a2enmod proxy_http` enable the site `a2ensite listmonk.domain.tdl` and restart apache `systemctl reload apache2`
|
|
|
|
#### proceed to install
|
|
- `sudo -u www-data ./listmonk --install` to setup the Postgres DB (or `--upgrade` to upgrade an existing DB. Upgrades are idempotent and running them multiple times have no side effects).
|
|
- Run `sudo -u www-data ./listmonk` and visit `http://listmonk.domain.tdl`
|
|
|
|
#### after install, fine tunning
|
|
oncen checked it works, stop the process.
|
|
- move the files to where you like most, usually `/opt/listmonk/` or inside `/var/www/html/`
|
|
- change ownership of the files to `www-data` or whatever user you have assigned the webserver `chown -R www-data:www-data listmonk`
|
|
- run listmonk as a service, create `/etc/systemd/system/listmonk.service` with:
|
|
```
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=Listmonk domain.tdl server
|
|
After=syslog.target network.target postgressql.target
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Type=simple
|
|
# the user and group executing the service
|
|
User=www-data
|
|
Group=www-data
|
|
# the directory where you have listmonk
|
|
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/html/listmonk
|
|
# the file to execute
|
|
ExecStart=/var/www/html/listmonk/listmonk
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
RestartSec=10
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
```
|
|
- enable the service `systemct enable listmonk.service` and restart the daemon `systemctl daemon-restart` or you can start just the service `systemctl start listmonk.service`
|
|
|
|
#### fixing small dependencies
|
|
- uploads fail: `mkdir /var/www/html/listmonk/uploads` and `chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/listmonk`
|
